The Legendary Roddy Beyers

Punk Globe: It has been a while since we interviewed you. It is time for an update

Roddy : 2025 was awful for me I had a Cancerous Kidney removed, and the day afterwards, my Mother died. I played a few Shows in Italy in August after my Operation on July 3rd 

Punk Globe: So, you are you mainly playing shows in the UK?

Roddy: I cancelled my California tour in June 2025 because of my Cancer operation and the Political situation in the US 

Punk Globe: Tell us about your British band, and who is in the band?

Roddy: Well, Joe Harcourt on 2nd guitar & Adrian Lee, On Sax and Keys, two new members, Jack Carver on drumsAnd Chris Redwood on Bass guitar 

Punk Globe: Do you miss playing the arena shows you played with The Specials?

Roddy: I miss the large Shows but not the Specials As things got very unpleasant between Terry Hall and me before I quit at the end of 2012

Punk Globe: It has been a while since you played the USA 

Roddy: 2024 was the last time I played California. It seems unlikely I shall return to the States until there is a change of Government.

Punk Globe: You have members in your American band from California. Who is in the band and what do they play?

Roddy: My US band  Dino Guerrero on drums Zac Pike on Guitar Chris Smith on Bass  Liam Philpot on Sax  Dan Boer on Keys. RIP 

Punk Globe: Your personal thoughts on him and his administration?

Roddy: Well, I find it hard to believe Trump was voted back in and the American people haven’t disposed of him after all he’s done
